PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – When PGA Tour officials struggled to get the Stadium Course tournament-ready prior to last year’s Players Championship, commissioner Tim Finchem suggested a host of possible changes, including a redesign of a few greens that would help with agronomic issues in the future.
But numerous sources have confirmed this week that the changes may be more sweeping then originally advertised.
According to those sources, the Tour has a tentative plan to lengthen some holes – including the par-5 second and par-4 sixth - in an effort to put driver back into the players' hands.
